One of the barriers to a happy, effective life is the way that we create negativity in our daily affairs. We swap stories of adversity โ the store clerk that was rude to you, the boss that never recognizes your contribution, the accident we saw on our way into work โ as a way of passing time, of connecting with each other. We kick ourselves for procrastinating, avoid colleagues we donโt get along with, gossip about ex-friends who screwed us over, and so on.
Hopefully, weโve learned to put negative thoughts out of our mind when we face a crisis, but what about the more pervasive, low-grade negativity we create and even embrace in the act of working our ways through our lives? A lot of people seem to sabotage themselves not so much by being unable to deal with crises but by creating them out of thin air. How can we avoid being an โEeyoreโ, someone who sucks the energy out of a room and out of ourselves?
